Hi-
I'm looking for a way to produce a shop patch sheet. It should be sorted by instrument type and show position, unit number, address, and user 1 (what I use for fixture mode).
Currently I'll either print a current worksheet layout or print a custom user 1 schedule, is there a better way to do it?
Thanks,
G

It sounds like an instrument schedule. You can create a new kind of paperwork based on the instrument schedule, then modify it to have whatever columns, etc. you want on it.
Go to Layout, choose Paperwork: Instrument Schedule, then click the "+" button to the right of the Paperwork: Instrument Schedule popup menu and give the new paperwork an appropriate name such as "Shop Patch Sheet" or whatever.
Then add/remove columns and re-order them as desired. When you're done, use File/Save Layout to save the layout.

You'd probably also want to create a Limit that selects just the Moving Lights. You can then choose that Limit in the Print Dialog.
This does bring another question to mind. Is there a way to link the Fixture Mode from the Maintenance window and put it in the Worksheet automatically? Right now I have a User column dedicated to it that I manually type in the Mode.

I usually put my "Mode" information in the instrument maintenance notes section. Much like the fixture attribute information. Alas, this doesn't help me when it comes to printing stickers because that section isn't available for printing between "maintenance" & "Worksheet". Because I print all my unit stickers from worksheet (unit#'s, position, color ect ect ect) so I too have to use another column. We need just a little bit more relationship interaction between Maintenance & worksheet (when it comes to printing this information on a sticker) |

Justin, If you use the profiles from the maintenance list you can get them onto your stickers by making a text box with "profile" as your content.

Never a doubt about that one so thanks for adding that to the discussion. However, they're is more times than not (at least for me) to much information to display from those profiles. Or if your trying to denote a fixture or special wireless receiver setting that doesn't exist as a profile. You strengthen my point to that if the "Profile" from Maintenace can make in onto the sticker why not the category "Note" or "Other" which is right next door to it.  . I'm pretty sure John is aware of the request but I'm going to resubmit just in case. Thanks. |

100% agreed! They are a little confusing for the shop and half the time I resort to a user column for those very reasons.

Selecting 'Instrument Schedule' in the layouts breaks the rig down by position. Is there a way to make a layout that breaks down by Instrument Type, and then sorts by position then channel? (Or have I missed something obvious?)
